I'm still searching for that. Guess I'll make the rounds again today while I'm out & about. I really don't want to pay eBay prices for a clone set!
You and me both. They are the last of TR for me! grr twin completionism...
Of the two I checked, 1 store had 1 box left. But the other had 6 boxes.
Also, they're priced per store. One store had it for $18.99. The other had them for $17.99.

So, Blitzwing and Octane: thoughts on these two? Don't have a previous version of the mold of these two but I do have Sentinel in the Astrotrain mold.
Mind you, I am saving up for Power of the Primes once it hit and the triple-changer trio weren't originally in my collecting plans...

Hold out Siebertronian's and don't pull the trigger just yet.Here in the West I went to a local WG and found me a set as I too came close to buying on Ebay. (now I can delete all the "saved watches" in my account for this
)
I paid $17.99 and I found them on a end-cap display just across from all the toys that are arranged for holiday buys and not were the regular toy section is. There were several there for both You and Me. Don't pay Ebay prices just yet!!!![]()

I just hope they don't do something stupid like make it TRU in stores only on Black Friday.

william-james88 wrote:I haven't had much free time to write big posts about how I feel about certain toys in a while. And I really want to write one about TR Arcee. Now I am very grateful to have this toy since internationally speaking, this is a very limited release and its fun to have a new titan master (however odd he is done) and to get a toy with new molding we wont find anywhere.
That being said, I think this toy is very flawed, at a very very deep level.
It being a retool of Blurr doesnt rub me the right way simply because this is now the 4th toy which uses the same Blurr body with some changes to make it look different in both modes. When it was just redecos with a new head, no one was kidding eachother, we knew exactly what they were. They were place holder, homages, something fun for those who wanted it but nothing essential. Its not like T30 deadwinwg replaces G2 Dreadwing or how Generations / GDO Wheelie is really what we are getting for Wheelie. They are extras, fun things that exist. But this reuse of Blurr is scary. Turning it into 4 different alt modes with robot modes that are distinctive from oneanother by just swapping some parts portrays a bleak outlook on the future. Like we could get a good enough version of any cybertronian plane, car or boat by simply reusing the same mold over and over again. It wont look bad in robot mode, but it will be the same thing, over and over again. So thats one part of it, and it works into the next part.
By reusing the same engineering we end up with an Arcee that looks the part in both modes. And I once said that all I needed was a sleek vehicle mode, a sleek robot mode and a satisfying transformation. Arcee fits the bill on all of those (granted the transformation is assessed independently of it being something I saw before, since it is one of the standout transformations from the Titans return). But her process of conversion doesnt feel right.
See, they give her these iconic G1 details like those shoulder pads, which should be the front of the vehicle, but those parts are fake vehicle kibble. They arent the front of the vehicle and worse off, they dont resemble the front of the actual vehicle this toy transforms into. Its kind of like having Optimus be an airplane and having a very pronounced truck windshield on his chest when he turns into robot mode. This is how that mold reusing is scary, we lose some essential components that have been the basis of this brand and its toys. Her second most prominant visible alt mode kibble is fake, and just there for decoration, simply because it isnt using a mold made to get the desired effect using real parts. Simply said, she doesnt get to earn that look.
Oh and I dont think the alt mode looks great. The retooling means she has the fake shoulder alt mode kibble seen on the side of the alt mode and the front looks like a bottle nosed dolphin rather than the fun lollypop/popcycle front the car usually has.
So there you go, thats my rant on Arcee and why I much preffer the Generations version. We get to have a toy resembling the iconic look which transforms the way it should and uses her robot and alt mode kibble properly in both modes (ie, her hips in car mode and the car front on her shoulder s).
I forgot I had never posted my sketches for the Titans Return Soundwave! Created in collaboration with Hasbro design team and based on the Blaster figure from the same line
Soundwave alt mode! It was supposed to be a soundbar, but not many got it

Entertainment Earth Ramhorn (on card) vs Ramhorn purchased back in July (loose). The brown is quite noticeably different.

Only the head homages the rhino Headmaster. The rhino vehicle itself is still very much Ramhorn's rhino mode design.Rated X wrote:Maybe the color shouldnt matter because it actually homages concept art for an unreleased Japanese headmaster. They shouldnt have even called him Ramhorn. Trying to kill two birds with one stone was the cheap way out.
